I hope you’re not insinuating that someone who is mentally ill or unwell can simply help themselves. That’s not how it works all of the time. Some people have much severe cases to where they do actually NEED outside help. That’s what she pays a lot of these people for, her team. To help. They want her to be sober so they can keep making money but don’t want to give her proper support.

I’ve been struggling with my sobriety for a year now and this was exactly what I needed to hear to get out of my head and realize that I can do this. Thank you Demi for being you and showing the truth to addiction and creating more open conversation. This is what people like me need, to not feel like such a failure and to be able to reach out to people when I need without fear of the stigma that often surrounds addicts.

After watching this and hearing these things, I want to go back and watch her KZbin special from a few years ago. I recall thinking something was off with her team but now I wonder if it's more apparent.

[@thamyresmariano5182]

Yes, I watched and when I listened to her talking about her disorder eating and her team wasn't care about it. She wasn't important to them, only her money.

her manager who, upon hearing Demi relapsing on her bulimia because of a break-up said 'you're not the only one wh's going through a break-up' on a CAMERA. Her sober coach who should never work as a sober coach in the first place (I mean he laughed at a homeless man who, most likely, struggled with alcoholism). Yeah, those people. Oh, plus they made her feel like she owes them because they were her "saviors"...

The most emotional thing of this interview is how much compassion, empathy Ellen showed while listening to Demi’s story. Elle was teary-eyed was while listening to her story 😭😭

[@marcellasteles]

What I love about Demi is that she never pretended to be someone else. She always openeded up about her emotional problems and addictions. She knows that being so transparent about these problems takes away a lot of people, the judges of good morals, for example. But even so, she continued to be faithful to the person she is, and to the problems that she has. I'm happy to see her well after all she been through. You go, Demi!!!!

[@goodieface7955]

You’re right she’s so real and honest and I think a lot of young women and men can look to her inspirational

[@Shay-yg7nm]

I love how Demi talks about her addiction. Alot of people think addicts are junkies on the street. They are the PTA moms, your neighbor, coworkers, best friend etc... More awareness needs to be brought on this subject. Thank you Demi for sharing your story we love you ❤❤

@ready for revolution now thats not true I knew alot of functional addicted that work and eat its rare but I knew some when I was an addict. Now I'm 5yrs sober with two beautiful children.

[@napalmcoma2165]

@ready for revolution now Lol back at you... You would be terrified, if only you knew. The addict is the guy who rang you up at the convenient store today, the girl who was your waitress at the restaurant you had lunch at, her boyfriend who cooked your great food, that cool salesman who sold you your car, your family doctor, your polite and quiet roommate, and your brother who leaves early for work to score so he doesn't get dopesick today at work. It's not just the homeless guy that's at the intersection asking for change. Truth is stranger than fiction!

[@violinplayer101]

I really love how Demi is so relatable even as a person who’s constantly in the spotlight. She emphasizes the importance of self love and self care in maintaining your mental health! When she was talking about her relapse, she didn’t sugarcoat it or give some scripted response. Talking about addiction, especially the feelings involved with it, is still considered a bit of a taboo subject, and I think the way she addressed this issue took a LOT of courage.

[@NoYoFace9]

Bah! When she said “you are a ten outta ten” I couldn’t help but cry cause sometimes you have to hear it. I hope one day when someone compliments me I don’t cry cause I don’t believe it i smile and say heck yes iam.

You can feel how gut wrenching it is for her to talk about all this publicly. I’ve been watching her interviews for years but you can sense her slight apprehension in talking about it all, yet she shows so much strength and strives to inspire 💕

[@okamiwolfee6775]

I respect her journey & the message - but it’s easier to say “you can get through this and love yourself” when you’re a rich and famous celebrity with a huge position of privilege. We have a huge problem with addicts in the UK, and they don’t have half as much help or privilege as these celebrities do. And I do think that the different financial positions play a part in the quality of help & resources open to people.

[@sunkisss1]

Okami Wolfee I was thinking the same thing a lot people don’t have a whole “team” to even go to it’s great she got through it but she is not the average person

[@kibo9829]

Good for her that she made it... but this was also running through my mind.

[@ashleytunny]

She has always been someone I looked up to but she’s also a real person. I was so sad when she relapsed but she seems to be surrounded by better people and it seems she has a better head space. I’m always rooting the best for her.

[@Hoopfinesse]

All that money and fame, she’s living a rough unhappy life. That says something

[@Tahia213]

They were checking her receipts and bank account to see how she was spending money on food ? And they call themselves a team ?! There is literally no help or support coming from those people, actually the opposite. I hope she surrounded herself with a new team made of real human beings, unlike those prior selfish greedy miserables who only thought of their job and carrier, who only saw Demi’s message, behaviour and relapse as a liability instead of a cry for help.

[@hollyobringer1565]

I seriously love Demi. She’s so open & amazing. So inspirational. But does anyone notice her voice has sounded a little different since after her relapse?

[@kristenpetro1150]

Holly Obringer yeah to me it sounds deeper or something. Who agrees?

[@madachinguyen5885]

She is such an inspiration honestly. She takes full responsibility to what she did to herself. That takes so much and i believe only a handful of people are strong enough to do that. Sure other factors played part in it, but taking the full responsibility also means that she can now hopefully have peace with herself. And she is so so soo strong for talking about this on a big platform because im sure its super hard to talk about this (and while staying strong). A lot of people dont understand how hard it is to rehabilitate. People dont look at what plays behind the decisions that others make. How she worded it was so well thought out and im happy for her for inspiring people who are going through the same

[@gabe6475]

Well obviously who else is she gonna blame

[@InsomniasRex]

Gabe Jones-Lang Some people blame anyone but themselves because it’s easier than admitting it.

[@ttee6990]

its hard to rehabilitate but its harder not to. cause the pain is there and if you dont deal with it you have to keep fighting it. you may as well face it and deal with it. and have a happier life. its liberating to deal with our demons its alot worse not to. though it takes a lot of courage, it ultimately pays off cuz all of us have demons we need to confront with or it swallow us up. so swim or sink. you choose.

[@alyssajessie4779]

Aimee Grice It kinda sounded like she was blaming her team for not helping her and the unhelpful comments they made.

[@andrewcaine2836]

There were a few unreleased songs. She changed the trajectory of her album so “I love me”was scrapped. She did maintain “Anyone”. I think some of the songs were songs like “It’s all good” and “Ain’t no friend”.
